 Perhaps reword the above.
  Support for non-CIFS is a defining characteristic of Samba4.

-The first big change has been to answer DCE-RPC on non-CIFS transports.
- In previous versions of Windows networking, DCE-RPC had always been encountered
+In previous versions of Windows networking, DCE-RPC had always been encountered
  as data flowing across named pipes, a concept existing in the file-system
  and shared between hosts by the CIFS file-sharing protocol.
  The change with Windows 2000 is that RPC became available directly on TCP/IP
  sockets.

-The challenge for this project was to add Kerberos to the protocols that
